What works
Most things seem to work fine
What does not
Touchpad integration is so so. Pressing space to show the "drag hand" freezes trackpad and horizontal scrolling did not work, but that might be a wine thing.
64bit installer does not start, have to use 32bit
What was not tested
This was not a comprehensive test.
Additional Comments

I'm beginning to wonder if it works better on AMDGPU, Intel Open Graphics and other Open Drivers.

I'd happily return to using Linux and WINE again. This was the only thing that stopped me.

I had problems with installation since it always failed. I was experiencing similar problems after installation.
This winetricks line helped to install & to launch:
$ winetricks -q atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008 ie6 fontsmooth-rgb gecko
After that I was able to launch successfully only 32-bit version.
PS works quite good, but drawing tools are still not working properly. And that's sad. Also, after first start PS noticed me that something is wrong with graphics acceleration (I have Intel HD 4400). But other things seems to be working and it is stable.
Richard.

I too have experienced issues where some tools will not properly draw when holding the mouse down. Sometimes I can draw squiggles, sometimes it's just a dot.
Thankfully I found a workaround to this issue in tool options.
Simply turn off 'Spacing' for each drawing tool (Brush, Eraser, Pencil, etc). After that, dots should be no more.
This solution may work on older Photoshops.

One thing I notice: The floating values around the mouse pointer when moving or resizing an element or the selection always stays the same values as they were when showing up (most of the time something around zero, like 5px or 7px, depends on how fast I move the selection before it shows up).
I think this has to be considered as a normal inconvenience of using a Windows App in Wine, but maybe someone knows a trick if there is any.
